Final Verdict
TMS Hotel is the safe, reliable default, consistently rated, well-positioned, and good value. For families or groups who want a pool, beach access, and predictable quality, TMS is hard to beat at this price point on My Khe.
Sala Danang earns its following for a different reason: it's a more considered hotel with personality, and if you're after a quieter beachfront base with better-than-average design, the slight premium over a generic 4-star is worth it.
If neither fully satisfies, consider upgrading to Furama Resort for a genuine five-star at a modest premium, or see our full beach hotels guide for more options across the My Khe and Non Nuoc strips.
